nice shots ryland!

I went for the roman fountain because of that deep deep blue that gives beautiful contrast to the illuminated fountain. The composition and detail is great. I would almost like to see the fountain dead center in the pic (crop a bit of the stuff on the left??). A close second was the roman forum, but the fountain just jumps out at you...

The others are all good, certainly composition wise. Some of them are just not crisp enough though (compare any of the others to the fountain, and you get the idea), although I also really liked the Siena View. A little photoshop action and any one of those would be great.

keep 'em coming!

I've gotta agree with "RoFo" for best pic because of the blue. I liked the simplicity of the "Siena View" shot too. Can't wait to see the others.

Ponte Vecchio is very atmospheric. The fountain looks a little like a travel brochure. Cinqe Terre is very nice. My vote is with Ponte Vecchio though. It lends itself better to the (photo) medium, while the others almost certainly look better in person.
